You guys and your big ring gauge cigars!!! The bigger the ring gauge the better!Originally Posted by HotRiverGuy
I enjoy a good cigar but I don't have the money to spend over $10 per cigar. I found that online stores have the best selection of lower price
cigars. I really enjoy Casa De Garcia Colossal. A mild big ring cigar at a great price. Has anyone else found a good low price cigar that I should try?
I just don't get it... So what's the attraction?

As I've found, "good cigars" run $8-$12 or more each. "Really good cigars" run $20-$30. All these are usually very consistent. I can only afford these as a treat.
"Decent cigars" are in the $3-$7 range with consistency being a big issue. I deal with these for the most part. Always on the hunt as the brands die off, and good batches go quick.
Under $3 is either whats left after they make the real cigars, what they train new rollers with, or usually both. You can still get some for "yard gars". No crime in doing that.

You can always roll your own. That's an option.
Unmitigated risk aversion is the new Puritanism; complete with witch hunts funny outfits and humorless preachers thundering doom. The Deity is Safety; Satan is a Lawyer; but the object is the same: to suck the life out of life and tell you how to live it.

Where the heck would you get the tobacco? Doesn't it require tropical/subtropical climes to grow and store cigar class tobacco? Not to mention somewhere to cure and ferment it properly. Is there a "Cigar making from scratch for Dummies" book on Amazon?

Don is a great guy, and very helpful.
He also has a forum with lots of info available here: http://fairtradetobacco.com/
Watch out, or you'll end up growing it too. That's just a tad bit of work, FYI.
